Getting fit isn’t only about losing weight. A trainer in Longview is showing people how to build a lean and powerful body. Her approach to health and fitness is creating quite the following.
Emily Click started as a personal trainer working one on one with people, but her dream was even bigger. That’s how BodyStrong started.
When Ms. Click hits the floor with her students at the Courthouse Athletic Club in Longview, they become a family.
“I love it because people push each other and get to know each other,” she said.
Ms. Click gives her students high energy and endless encouragement.
“She has such a great attitude,” said Michelle Freeman, a BodyStrong class member.
“She is so compassionate. She just really cares about people. You can feel that from her,” fellow participant Stephen Townsend said.
Ms. Click designed a program that works for any fitness level in 45 minutes flat.
“I feel amazing. I have never in my life wanted to exercise. I want to come every single day,” Ms. Freeman said.
Ms. Click puts her BodyStrong family through light weight training with a lot of repetitions combined with some bursts of cardio.
“You you are getting your heart rate up and burning a lot of fat and getting a lot of long lean muscle that a lot of women and men are looking for,” she said.
And in just eight weeks, Ms. Freedman said she has lost 14 inches and 8.5 percent of body fat.
Ms. Click wants her students to allow their minds to control their bodies.

“Your mind is going to determine your success in this program. I teach people that you have to believe in yourself,” she said. “I believe everybody that comes in here.”
She shares her students’ success stories on Facebook hoping to give other people hope that they, too, can achieve fitness success.
“It is just so inspiring to see other girls lose so much weight in such a quick period of time. It’s fun and you feel so good after you leave,” said Ms. Freeman.
Ms. Click said she gets to know her clients restrictions and their goals, so she can them create the body they want.
